Which is better for stainless steel 304 faucet and copper faucet

Is the stainless steel 304 faucet easy to use? The faucet is an indispensable hardware in the kitchen and bathroom decoration. When purchasing, it will be compared with each other and selected. So, which one is better, stainless steel 304 faucet or copper faucet?
Stainless steel 304 faucet
①Advantages:
1. Compared with copper, stainless steel 304 faucet is harder and tougher.
2. Due to the addition of other metals, stainless steel is very durable, hygienic and environmentally friendly, and it also has many benefits for human health.
3. Stainless steel has strong anti-corrosion and alkali resistance, and will not release any harmful metal substances.
②Disadvantages:
1. Due to the very high hardness of stainless steel, the production and processing technology of stainless steel is much more difficult than that of copper; its production loss is also very large, the sealing performance needs to be strengthened, and the price is not cheap.
2. Although stainless steel is said to not rust, there are many counterfeit stainless steel products circulating in the market. These stainless steel products will rust after being used for a period of time. Therefore, be sure to choose stainless steel hardware of big brands, so as to be more secure.
3. The stainless steel industry is still in the development stage, and some manufacturers will add some toxic heavy metals in the production and processing to achieve the hardness and strength standards. Although it has not yet been clearly checked how long it takes to soak in water to precipitate these heavy metals, everyone still has to pay attention.




Copper faucet
①Advantages
1. The chemical properties of copper itself are more stable than that of stainless steel, acid and alkali resistance, and it is no worse than stainless steel; it has a long service life and is very durable.
2. The texture of copper is relatively softer than that of stainless steel, and the melting point is low, so the plasticity is very strong. Today, the market is very skilled in copper processing technology, the cost is also controllable, and it can be recycled.
3. The shape of copper is very changeable, and it can also be customized, and you can do whatever you want.
4. High-quality copper can kill 99% of bacteria in tap water, so there is no need to worry about the harm of overnight water; its super hardness will burst even if it is dozens of degrees below zero, and external bacteria cannot invade.
②Disadvantages
After long-term use, copper will produce patina; and inferior copper faucets will produce lead.
